Q. Can I make a payment (Credit Transfer) from the UK to a Credit Union account?Yes, it is possible to make a payment from the UK to a Credit Union account. The important point for the member to remember is that the payment type must be a ‘SEPA Credit Transfer’ not an ‘International Payment’.The member must stipulate that the payment to be made must be a ‘SEPA Credit Transfer’. The UK bank will convert the sterling debit on the UK account from sterling to euro and send the payment out as a ‘SEPA Credit Transfer’. The payment will be received into the member account in euro.Similarly it is possible to receive pension payments from the UK for the credit of a member account- again the member must stipulate that the payment must be made as a SEPA Credit Transfer.

Q. Can I make a payment (Credit Transfer) from a country outside the SEPA Zone to a Credit Union account?No, countries outside the SEPA Zone are not eligible to make SEPA payments.

Q. What would happen if a member attempted to make a payment to a Credit Union member account outside the SEPA Zone?If a member attempts to make a payment from a country outside the SEPA Zone, the originating bank should reject the payment. In some cases, the originating back may attempt to send the payment as an International SWIFT payment – in which case the payment will be returned when it reaches the destination country. It may take some days for the payment to be returned.

Q. Can I make a payment (Credit Transfer) to a country outside Ireland.Currently no. This payment will be rejected immediately by CUSOP as the BIC and IBAN will not be reachable.

The credit union can also transfer money to other financial institutions and utility companies on a member’s behalf thereby reducing cash transactions and increasing security for members.

BIC/IBAN

All credit union accounts now have a unique account identifier called a BIC/IBAN. This can be used if you want to set up a standing order or send an internet banking payment from your bank current account to your credit union account.

To do this, you will need your Bank Identifier Code (BIC) and International Bank Account Number (IBAN). These are listed on your credit union account book and also on deposit/transaction slips and these are unique to you.

You can amend the standing order through your own online banking system or at your own bank branch. All you need to do, is state your Credit Union BIC/IBAN details. All your transfer details will stay the same, you will just be using the new stand account identifier for the credit union.
